Study Abroad

Studying abroad is about much more than just visiting another country. It will advance you in more ways than you can imagine—personally, educationally, professionally, and socially. The world needs people who are educated about the world.

Benefits of study abroad:

  • Build your resume
  • Earn credits toward your degree
  • Meet people from around the world
  • Gain perspective
  • Explore the world
  • Experience different cultures
  • Learn another language
  • Find out who you are and what you believe in
  • Enhance your social skills

The Center for International Education is dedicated to providing UWM students with high-quality, safe, and affordable international academic opportunities that allow them to develop knowledge and skills needed to become productive and successful members of the global community. In partnership with UWM’s schools and colleges, our goal is to increase awareness of education abroad opportunities, to promote intercultural learning, and to advocate for diversity in participants and programs.

Passports now required to apply to study abroad

Starting this fall, you must have a passport to apply for an education abroad program.  Your passport must be valid for at least six months past the last day of the program you are applying for.  If you are interested in a study abroad program, apply for a passport IMMEDIATELY if you don't have one.  Expedited processing is available and advised.


Scanners Around Campus

With our new application program, you may be required to scan documents into the application program.  If you do not have access to your own scanner, there are many places to use scanners on campus.  First, we have added a scanner in our office located at Pearse 166.  It is free for student usage.  There are also flatbed scanners available in the Library Learning Commons.  There is no charge for scanning copies to a CD-ROM or USB memory stick on the flatbed scanners.   The library also has three copy machines that provide the option to scan materials and save the pdfs to a portable drive.  These machines are located in the Media and Reserve Library and the Daniel M. Soref Learning Commons.  Copiers may charge 25 cents per copy and require the use of a print card.
